i read most of the thread and i don't know if y'all got a personal history, but it seems like you came at dude strong from your first post. seems like it's something behind your posts. maybe i'm reaching. not really trying to be that much in your biz, but i was curious. not trying to instigate.
Nope, I don't have any bad history with dude. I think people take it wrong sometimes because the music business is a cold piece and I don't water it down just incase some people get tender. A lot of cats don't want to even acknowledge that they're gameplan ain't all the way solid or they might not be the 'artist/success' they think they are. Some people are destined to be stars, most arn't. Some people achieve real success, most don't. Cats toss the word "hater" around like it's a hot potato because it's the easiest way to dodge the truth when you're not capable or ready to deal with it. I know I come off strong sometimes and it's because 1) the business demands it and 2) you have to be real if you want progress. You can't move forward if you can't be honest with yourself and that's why a lot of "artists" are stuck where they're at.
It's funny how many cats think they're cut out for this business but fall apart the second they get any criticism. No wonder so many of them get eaten alive and are left bitter. I wish everyone success because I like to see people prosper, and I believe in the end we get what we deserve.
